Barrhead reveals location of next two new branches
Barrhead Travel has today announced its next two new shops will open in Bury, Greater Manchester and in the west Sussex seaside town of Worthing.
The latest locations take the total number of new stores announced as part of the travel company’s expansion project to 19.
To date, 11 new branches have opened since the Scottish-based business announced its expansion plans in October.
Oldham (above) and Stockport are the latest stores to open their doors with both launching over the weekend.
Barrhead president Jacqueline Dobson said: "Worthing will be a hugely complementary addition to our portfolio in the south, joining Isle of Wight, Plymouth and Southampton in the most southerly stretches of the country.
"Bury will add to our Manchester footprint and will be the fourth store in Greater Manchester region.
"Brand awareness and engagement is growing steadily in both of these areas and the local communities have been receptive and welcoming to the Barrhead Travel brand.
"The announcement of a further two locations comes at a notable stage of our expansion project. We’ve made strong headway with the openings so far and the stores that have opened their doors are performing very well."
The store locations of Bury and Worthing have yet to be confirmed but both are expected to open in the coming months.
The travel group is still recruiting for several positions in the Bury and Worthing teams including travel consultants. Vacancies are also available in locations nationwide as the company continues to recruit for new and existing stores.
